dc.description.abstractQuantitative and spatiotemporal distributions of precipitation estimated by previous studies in the high-altitude Indus basin are highly contrasting and uncertain. This research integrates precipitation data of 307 observatories, with the net snow accumulations estimated through mass balance studies at 21 major glacier zones. The study recognized that higher river flows than the corresponding precipitation estimates by the previous studies are mainly due to underestimated precipitation of individual stations located at higher altitudes during winter months.en
